Medical School Blogs, News, Publications, and Forums

The Internet offers a sea of information for the medical student. Medical school blogs, for example, are becoming increasingly common as a means for current med students to talk about their experiences and share their views with those thinking about attending medical school. Medical school forums, as well, are a great way for students around the world to network, share ideas, and support one another through the long years of medical school and residencies.

The medical community, in particular, offers plenty of information for the lay person as well as the medical profession in terms of current research and issues relating to healthcare. Journals, news sites, magazines, and other publications are available in dozens of specialized areas.
